I must be missing something. He moved to a top 25 team from a non top 25 team. LaTech was pretty darn good this past year i think maybe the last two years. If he's got some kids coming back on that roster then I think he can make a statement to some of the other bigtime programs

I don't know what happen to Skip Holtz at South Florida, but I do know that he is a very good football coach. A lot of the time it is the assistants that you have working under you that make you great or make you look very bad. A classic example of this is our own staff at Carolina. Until the HBC got a very good staff under him, he and we did not have a very good program.

I think Skip will do well at La Tech and hopefully he will continue to improve and get back at bigger name school in the future, but I do believe that will take him a while.

Skip was a terrible terrible coach at USF, he took a program that was at the top of the conference, ranked, and had recently hit as high as #2 in the polls and destroyed it in the matter of a few years. In the 9 years Leavitt had in FBS he had one losing season, Skip had 2 in 3 years. Even this year in the projections for the Big East they were supposed to be at the top of the league and they absolutely sucked. Look at the development of BJ Daniels... Skip is lucky to have any job as a HC at this point.

Skip's problem is he has to have assistants who can coach on Saturdays, I have a friend who was a GA for him at ECU and said he was a great Sunday-Friday coach but if he didn't have great play callers at OC and DC he couldn't compensate.

Yeah I just dont think he would be as noticable at USF with all the Florida school to compete with recruiting. In Louisiana he only has one school to compete with for in state recruits. Seems like a win to me especially as crappy as Sfla is

In state maybe but hell the ones that dont go to LSU will go out of state...Louisiana Tech will get the scraps
